Ugly and DimIn a land where only rich folk have chins; lived a man. Ugly and Dim. He was as bright as a flashlight in the afternoon hours. A terrible thing, having thoughts devoured. A drought crossed the land where Ideas once grew now lies a place for neither me nor you. We heard of boy. Quiet wealthy, quiet rich, but deep down a real sonofabitch, who rode ‘gainst the grain and then disappeared. Never to be heard of again. What a shame to lose the lose the mind of young Ugly and Dim. / I heard a tall tale, or call it a fable; for the lessons quite clear. / It’s a lesson about Ugly and Dim, two brothers in fact who had such an act at the travelling magical show. Dim had the knowledge and Ugly had the looks.

Heaven (to some)Listen up barflies, tricksters and drunks, / People’s lives wasted with heads down the dunk; / What if there really is a land for you and me,
